Cantonment of the American Army, 

ON Hudson’s River, 10th May, 1783. 

Proposals for establishing a society, upon principles therein mentioned, 
whose Members shall be officers of the American Army, having been communicated 
to the several regiments of the respective lines, they appointed an officer from 
each, who, in conjunction with the general officers, should take the same into 
consideration at their meeting this day, at which the Honorable Major General 
Baron de Steuben, the senior officer present, was pleased to preside. 

The proposals being read, fully consdeired, paragraph by paragraph, and the 
amendments agreed to. Major General Knox, Brigadier General Hand, 
Brigadier General Huntington and Captain Shaw, were chosen to revise the 
same, and prepare a copy to be laid before this assembly at their next meeting, 
to be holden at Major General Baron de Steuben’s quarters, on Tuesday, the 
13th instant. 

Tuesday, 13th May, 1783. 

The representatives of the American Army being assembled agreeably to 
adjournment, the plan for establishing a Society, whereof the officers of the 
American Army are to be Members, is accepted, and is as follows, viz.: 

“ It having pleased the Supreme Governor of the Universe, in the disposition of 
human affairs, to cause the separation of the colonies of North America from the 
domination of Great Britain, and, after a bloody conflict of eight years, to establish 
them free, independent and sovereign States, connected, by alliances founded on 
reciprocal advantage, with some of the great princes and powers of the earth; 

“To perpetuate, therefore, as well the remembrance of this vast event, as the 
mutual friendships which have been formed under the pressure of common danger, 
and, in many instances, cemented by the blood of the parties, the officers of the 
American Army do hereby, in the most solemn manner, associate, constitute and 
combine themselves into one Society of Friends, to endure as long as they shall 
endure, or any of their eldest male posterity, and, in failure thereof, the collateral 
branches who may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and Members. 

“The officers of the American Army having generally been taken from the 
citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illustrious 
Roman, Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus; and being resolved to follow his example, 
by returning to their citizenship, they think they may with propriety denominate 
themselves— 

^\}t ^ocietp of tf)e Cincinnati 

“The following 'principles shall he immutable and form the basis of the Society of 
the Cincinnati: 

“An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights and 

LIBERTIES OF HUMAN NATURE, FOR WHICH THEY HAVE FOUGHT AND BLED, AND WITH¬ 
OUT WHICH THE HIGH RANK OF A RATIONAL BEING IS A CURSE INSTEAD OF A BLESSING. 

“An unalterable determination to promote and cherish, BETWEEN THE 
RESPECTIVE States, that union and national honor so essentially necessary 
TO their happiness, and the future dignity of the American empire. 

“To RENDER PERMANENT THE CORDIAL AFFECTION SUBSISTING AMONG THE 

officers: This spirit will dictate brotherly kindness in all things, and 

PARTICULARLY, EXTEND TO THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL ACTS OF BENEFICENCE, ACCORDING 

5 


TO THE ABILITY OF THE SOCIETY, TOWARDS THOSE OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES, 
WHO UNFORTUNATELY MAY BE UNDER THE NECESSITY OF RECEIVING IT. 

“The General Society will, for the sake of frequent communications, be 
divided into State Societies, and these again into such districts as shall be directed 
by the State Society. 

“The Societies of the districts to meet as often as shall be agreed upon by the 
State Society, those of the State on the fourth day of July annually, or oftener, if 
they shall find it expedient, and the General Society on the first Monday in May, 
annually, so long as they shall deem it necessary, and afterwards, at least once in 
every three years. 

“At each meeting, the principles of the Institution will be fully considered, 
and the best measures to promote them adopted. 

“The State Societies will consist of all the members resident in each State 
respectively; and any member removing from one State to another, is to be 
considered, in all respects, as belonging to the Society of the State in which he 
shall actually reside. 

“The State Societies to have a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and 
Assistant Treasurer, to be chosen annually, by a majority of votes, at the State meeting. 

“Each State meeting shall write annually, or oftener, if necessary, a circular 
letter, to the State Societies, noting whatever they may think worthy of observation, 
respecting the good of the Society, or the general union of the States, and giving 
information of the officers chosen for the current year: copies of these letters 
shall be regularly transmitted to the Secretary-General of the Society, who will 
record them in a book to be assigned for that purpose. 

“The State Society will regulate everything respecting itself and the Societies 
of its districts consistent with the general maxims of the Cincinnati, judge of the 
qualifications of the members who may be proposed, and expel any member who, 
by a conduct inconsistent with a gentleman and a man of honor, or by an 
opposition to the interests of the community in general, or the Society in particular, 
may render himself unworthy to continue a member. 

“In order to form funds which may be respectable, and assist the unfortunate, 
each officer shall deliver to the Treasurer of the State Society one month’s pay, 
which shall remain for ever to the use of the State Society; the interest only of 
which, if necessary, to be appropriated to the relief of the unfortunate. 

“Donations may be made by persons not of the Society, and by members of 
the Society, for the express purpose of forming permanent funds for the use of the 
State Society, and the interest of these donations appropriated in the same manner 
as that of the month’s pay. 

“Moneys, at the pleasure of each member, may be subscribed in the Societies 
of the districts, or the State Societies, for the relief of the unfortunate members, 
or their widows and orphans, to be appropriated by the State Society only. 

“The meeting of the General Society shall consist of its officers and a 
representation form each State Society, in number not exceeding five, whose 
expenses shall be borne by their respective State Societies. 

“In the general meeting, the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Assistant 
Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer-Generals, shall be chosen to serve 
until the next meeting. 

“The circular letters which have been written by the respective State Societies 
to each other, and their particular laws, shall be read and considered, and all 
measures concerted which may conduce to the general intendment of the Society. 

“It is probable that some persons may make donations to the General Society, 
for the purpose of establishing funds for the further comfort of the unfortunate, in 
which case, such donations must be placed in the hands of the Treasurer-General, 
the interests only of which to be disposed of, if necessary, by the general meeting. 

6 


“All the officers of the American army, as well those who have resigned with 
honor, after three years’ service in the capacity of officers, or who have been 
deranged by the resolution of Congress upon the several reforms of the army, as 
those who shall have continued to the end of the war, have the right to become 
parties to this institution; provided that they subscribe one month’s pay, and 
sign their names to the general rules, in their respective State Societies, those who 
are present with the Army immediately; and others within six months after the 
Army shall be disbanded, extraordinary cases excepted; the rank, time of service, 
resolution of Congress by which any have been deranged, and place of residence 
must be added to each name—and as a testimony of affection to the memory and 
the offspring of such officers as have died in the service, their eldest male branches 
shall have the same right of becoming members, as the children of the actual members 
of the Society. 

“Those officers who are foreigners, not resident in any of the States, will have 
their names enrolled by the Secretary-General, and are to be considered as 
members in the Societies of any of the States in which they may happen to be. 

“And as there are, and will at all times be, men in the respective States 
eminent for their abilities and patriotism, whose views may be directed to the 
same laudable objects, with those of the Cincinnati, it shall be a rule to admit 
such characters, as Honorary Members of the Society, for their owm lives only: 
Provided always. That the number of Honorary Members, in each State, does not 
exceed a ratio of one to four of the officers or their descendants. 

“Each State Society shall obtain a list of its members, and at the first annual 
meeting, the State Secretary shall have engrossed, on parchment, two copies of the 
Institution of the Society, which every member present shall sign, and the Secretary 
shall endeavor to procure the signature of every absent member; one of those lists 
to be transmitted to the Secretary-General, to be kept in the archives of the 
Society, and the other to remain in the hands of the State Secretary. From the 
State lists, the Secretary-General must make out, at the first general meeting, a 
complete list of the whole Society, with a copy of which he will furnish each 
State Society, 

“The Society shall have an Order, by which its members shall be known 
and distinguished, which shall be a medal of gold, of a proper size to receive the 
emblems, and suspended by a deep blue riband two inches wide, edged with 
white, descriptive of the union of France and America, viz.: 

“ The principal figure, 

CINCINNATUS: 

Three Senators presenting him with a sword and other military ensigns—on a field in 
the background, his wife standing at the door of their Cottage—near it 
A PLOUGH AND INSTRUMENTS OF HUSBANDRY. 

Round the whole, 

OMNIA RELIQUIT SERVARE REMPUBLICAM. 

On the reverse, 

Sun rising—a city with open gates, and vessels entering the port—Fame 
crowning CINCINNATUS with a wreath, inscribed 

VIRTUTIS PRAEMIUM. 

Below, 

HANDS JOINED, SUPPORTING A HEART. 

With the motto, 

ESTO PERPETUA. 

Round the whole, 

SOCIETAS CINCINNATORUM INSTITUTA, 

A. D. 1783.” 


7 


The Society, deeply impressed with a sense of the generous assistance this 
country has received from France, and desirous of perpetuating the friendships 
which have been formed, and so happily subsisted, between the officers of the 
allied forces in the prosecution of the war, direct that the President-General 
transmit, as soon as may be, to each of the characters hereafter named, a medal 
containing the Order of the Society, viz: 

His Excellency the Chevalier de la Luzerne, Minister Plenipotentiary, 

His Excellency the Sieur Gerard, late Minister Plenipotentiary, 

Their Excellencies 

The Count de Estaing, 

The Count de Grasse, 

The Count de Barras, 

The Chevalier des Touches, 

Admirals and Commanders in the Navy. 

His Excellency the Count de Rochambeau, Commander in Chief, 

And the Generals and Colonels of his army, and acquaint them, that the 
Society does itself the honor to consider them members. 

Resolved, That a copy of the aforegoing Institution be given to the senior 
officer of each State line, and that the officers of the respective States lines sign 
their names to the same, in manner and form following, viz: 

“We the subscribers, officers of the American army, do hereby voluntarily become parties 
to the foregoing Institution, and do bind ourselves to observe, and be governed by, the principles 
therein contained. For the performance whereof we do solemnly pledge to each other our sacred 
honor. 

“Done in the Cantonment on Hudson’s River, in the year 1783.” 

That the members of the Society, at the time of subscribing their names to 
the Institution, do also assign a draft on the Paymaster-General, in the following 
terms (the regiments to do it regimentally, and the generals and other officers not 
belonging to regiments, each for himself, individually), viz.: 

“To John Pierce, Esquire, Pay-Master General to the Army of the United States: 

“Sir: Please to pay to.Treasurer for the.State association 

of the Cincinnati, or his order, one month’s pay of our several grades respectively, and deduct the 
same from the balance which shall be found due to us on the final liquidation of our accounts; 
for which this shall be your warrant.” 

That the members of the several State Societies assemble as soon as may be, 
for the choice of their President and other officers; and that the Presidents 
correspond together, and appoint a meeting of the officers who may be chosen 
from each State, in order to pursue such further measures as may be judged 
necessary. 

That the General officers, and the officers delegated to represent the several 
corps of the Army, subscribe to the Institution of the General Society, for 
themselves and their constituents, in the manner and form before prescribed. 

That General Heath, General Baron de Steuben and General Knox, 
be a committee to wait on his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, with a copy of 
the Institution, and request him to honor the Society by placing his name at the 
head of it. 

That Major General William Heath, second in command in this Army, be, 
and he hereby is, desired to transmit copies of the Institution, with the proceedings 
thereon, to the commanding officer of the Southern Army, the senior officer in each 
State, from Pennsylvania to Georgia, inclusive, and to the commanding officer of 
the Rhode Island line, requesting them to communicate the same to the officers 
under their several commands, and to take such measures as may appear to them 

8 




necessary for expediting the establishment of their State Societies, and sending a 
delegation to represent them in the first general meeting, to be holden on the first 
Monday in May, 1784. 

The meeting then adjourned without day. 


At a later meeting of said delegates, held June 19, 1783, the Baron de Steuben 
having communicated a letter from Major L’Enfant, enclosing a design of the 
medal and order, containing the emblems of the Institution, 

Resolved, That the bald eagle, carrying the emblems on its breast, be 
established as the order of the Society, and that the ideas of Major L’Enfant, 
respecting it and the manner of its being worn by the members, be adopted. That 
the order be of the same size, and in every other respect conformable to the said 
design, which for that purpose is certified by the Baron de Steuben, President of 
this Convention and to be deposited in the archives of the Society, as the original, 
from which all copies are to be made. Also, that silver medals, not exceeding the 
size of a Spanish milled dollar, with the emblems, as designed by Major L’Enfant, 
and certified by the President, be given to each and every member of the Society, 
together with a diploma, on parchment, whereon shall be impressed the exact figures of 
the order and medal, as above mentioned; anything in the original Institution, respecting 
gold medals, to the contrary notwithstanding. 


I^ulc of 1854 

At the Triennial meeting of the General Society held in the City of Baltimore, 
18th May, 1854, the following resolutions respecting the succession and admission 
of members were unanimously adopted: 

1— ‘^Resolved, That each State Society shall have the full right and power to regulate the 
admission of members, both as to the quahfications of members and the terms of admission. 
Provided, that admission be confined to the male descendants of original members (including 
collateral branches as contemplated by the original Constitution), or to the male descendants of 
such officers of the Army and Navy as may have been entitled to admission, but who failed to 
avail themselves thereof within the time limited by the Constitution; or to the male descendants 
of such officers of the Army and Navy of the Revolution as may have resigned with honor, or 
left the service with reputation, or to the male collateral relative of any officer who died in 
service without leaving issue. 

2— “Resolved, That the male descendants of those who were members of State Societies 
which have been dissolved, may be admitted into existing State Societies upon such terms as 
those Societies may think proper and prescribe. 

3— “Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be proposed to the several State Societies and 
their assent be requested thereto: and upon such assent being given by each of the remaining 
Societies, the Secretary-General shall issue notice thereof to each Society, and thereupon the said 
resolutions shall become operative and each State Society shall be at liberty to act upon the power 
given thereby." 

At the Special meeting of the General Society held in the City of Trenton on 
the 22d May, 1856, at which neither the Rhode Island nor the New York State 
Society was represented, it was unanimously 

“Resolved, That the resolution adopted at the last Triennial meeting, requiring the assent

SECTION XII. 

TERM OF OFFICE. 

All officers, delegates and members of the Standing Committee shall continue 
in their respective offices until other appointments are duly made in their stead. 

SECTION XIII. 

APPLICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP. 

Every applicant for membership in the Society shall make application in 
writing, setting forth distinctly and fully, under affidavit, his claim to such 
membership, and such application shall be addressed to the Standing Committee, 
by whom it shall be examined, considered and presented, with report thereon, at 
the next annual stated meeting of the Society. The approval of two-thirds of 

the members present shall be necessary to an election of such applicant. 

SECTION XIV. 

QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP.* 

No person shall be eligible for membership who shall be under twenty-one 
years of age. Every applicant to be eligible must have the qualifications stated 
in the Institution of the Society, or under the Rule of 1854 adopted by the 
General Society. Among descendants of original members or others who shall be 
eligible, this Society reserves the absolute right to choose such one as seems to 
it best fitted to promote the ends of the Society, but it will ordinarily be guided 
by the following principles: 

(1.) The succession shall descend in the eldest male line so long as it 

continues unbroken. 

(2.) If the eldest male line fails, the next male line shall be taken. 

(3.) In case of the failure of the male line, the line which descended the 
greatest number of generations from the original member before a failure of males, 
shall ordinarily be taken. 

(4.) The claims of descendants through female lines shall be determined by 

the same rules of primogeniture as in case of claims through the male line, so 

far as applicable. 

(5.) A waiver by any person shall be regarded only as the renunciation of a 
claim, not as a transfer of a right. 

(6.) No waiver, express or implied, shall be considered as affecting the rights 
of a minor son, except for special reasons satisfactory to the Society. 

(7.) Where for any reason the Society deviates from the strict rules in 
electing a member, it shall not be considered as changing permanently the order 
of succession; but, upon the death of such member, the old order may be restored. 

* This Section was adopted by the Delaware State Society of the Cincinnati at its annual meeting, July 4, 1896, 
in lieu of its former provisions for membership, in conformity with the requirements of the General Society, prescribed 
at its Triennial Meeting in Philadelphia, Pa., May, 1896. 

14 



(8.) As the Society, for the support of the principles to which it is pledged, 
may justly require its membership to be kept full, it may, upon satisfactory 
evidence that an eligible person has had knowledge of his claim and neglected to 
apply within a reasonable time, treat it as a waiver of the claim. If a vacancy 
has existed for many years, the Society may admit any descendant of the original 
member, at its discretion. 

SECTION XV. 

DUES. 

(1.) Representatives of original members of the Delaware State Society of 
the Cincinnati, in consequence of the amount contributed by the latter having 
been paid the Society, shall not be required to pay any sum additional; repre¬ 
sentatives of praepositi not original members shall pay one hundred dollars, which 
sum shall confer upon their successors the privilege of admission without require¬ 
ment of any sum additional. 

(2.) All entrance fees so paid the Society shall be considered part of the 
Permanent Fund of the Society. 

' SECTION XVI. 

HONORARY MEMBERS. 

Every candidate for honorary membership shall be proposed by two members 
at the annual meeting of the Society, be approved by the Standing Committee, 
and in the election thereof, the votes of three-fourths of the members present 
shall be necessary to such election; provided always, that the number of such 
honorary members in this Society “does not exceed a ratio of one to four of the 
officers or their descendants,’’ as directed by the Institution. 

SECTION XVII. 

EXPULSION. 

Any member of this Society found guilty of conduct inconsistent with that of 
a gentleman and man of honor, shall be expelled from membership therein; 
provided that he shall first have ample notice and opportunity for a full and 
fair hearing at a previous meeting of the Society. The votes of three-fourths of 
the members present shall be necessary to expulsion, and notice thereof shall be 
given by the Secretary to the Secretaries of the other State Societies. 

SECTION XVIII. 

DECEASE OF MEMBERS. 

On the decease of any member of the Society, the Secretary shall announce 
the same and invite the members to attend the funeral (notifying them of the 
place and time thereof), if convenient to their place of residence. 

SECTION XIX. 

INSIGNIA.

15 


Society and countersigned by the Secretary; for which diploma he shall pay the 
Treasurer, on, receipt thereof, the sum of five dollars. The fee thus paid shall be 
for the use of the Society, and be considered as part of the revenue for the 
current year. The form of said diploma shall be as follows:
